Need urgent help with recovering data from log files

Coding
1

I have a student whose dissertation data I need to process. Unfortunately I didn’t check that all the data was being saved, and I’m missing reaction times for both an emotional stroop task and a lexical decision task (and scores for the LDT).

I know I should be able to retrieve the data from the logs files (e.g. using methods described here Part of reaction time data missing for some participants) but it will take me a while. If you think you can do it faster, please get in touch and I’d be more than happy to exchange your services for some online debugging or experiment modification.

The experiment is here: estroop-ldt [PsychoPy]

If you can help me I’ll add you to the repository so you can access the code and log files.

hi @wakecarter @Yiannis
i I’m having a similar issue, but my problem is that no CSV files were saved, and I only have .log files. Do you think it’s possible to extract the information from the log files or transform the log files into CSV format?

I’m conducting my experiment using PsychoPy Builder (offline mode), and due to a human error of pressing the ESCkey, I only have .log files for some participants, with no CSV files generated. I’ve seen older Python script-based methods, but I’m unsure if they still work with PsychoPy 2024.1.5. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps you can modify the script found at No csv file saved - scrape log file to suit your needs?
